Hindi SMS

Dil me base hai jara yaad rakhna,
Yaade kaam pade toh yaad karna,
Mujhe toh aadat hai apako yaad karne ki,
Agar hichki aaye toh maaf karna……

Baat aisi ho ki jazbat kam na ho,
Khalayat aise ho ki kabhi gham na ho,

Dil ke kisi kone me itni nigah rakhna,
ki khali khali sa lage jab hum na Ho! …

Socha hai aaj fir Unki yaado ko seene se lagaya jaaye,
Yaad karke unki aankho ko, chehre ko, is dil ko behlaya jaaye,
Rahenge Hosh main to yeh masroofiat hume unhe yaad karne nahi degi,
So madhosh hone ke liye aaj fir ik jaam uthaya jaaye.

सूखी धरती, सूखा बीहड़, सूखे नदिया-ताल ।
अब के बरस भी होगा, लागे, पिछले बरस सा हाल ॥

बिनती कर-कर बरसे नैना, भीजे सगरे गाल ।
बरस ना तरसे सूखा, अब तो बरसो गगन बिसाल ॥

मौसम धरती के चौपड़ पे चलिहै ऐसी चाल ।
गरमी थै-थै ताण्डव करिहै, सूरज देवे ताल ।

बनी मछरिया जात आदम की, नियति फेंके जाल ।
प्राण भी भीते हिरन सा ह्ड़के, हुआ आखेटी काल ॥

सूखा गोकुल, सूखी जमना, सूखी कदम की डाल ।
प्यासी गइया माता घूमे, प्यासा किसना ग्वाल ॥

भाल भाल पे फ़ैला, देखो, चिन्ताओं का जाल ।
बगलें झाँके बच्चे, जब-जब पूछे भूख सवाल ॥

थाल भरे मुर्दा डंगर के, जीमें गिद्ध-सियाल ।
महाकाल साक्षात बिराजे, बन के महा अकाल ॥
Famine (Translation)

The land is parched, the jungles arid, the rivers and ponds have all dried up.
Apparently, this year will not be too different from the last one.

See, these eyes pour as they pray ceaselessly, and my cheeks are all drenched.
O great big skies, pour down now, donot let the year go by dry again.

The season plays crooked moves on the earth’s chessboard.
The heat dances ‘Tandava’ (Lord Shiva’s dance of destruction that he performs to bring about apocalypse) to the beat of sun.

The sons and daughters of Adam are akin to fish, and destiny- a merciless fisherman.
Life scampers about like a frightened deer; death follows on its heels like a determined hunter.

Gokul is dry, the river Yamuna is dry, dry is the tree of ‘Kadam’. (Gokul is the birthplace of Lord Krishna. Yamuna and Kadam-tree are also symbols of Lord Krishna’s childhood).
The mother-like cow roams thirsty, and so does Kisna- the cow-keeper. (Lord Krishna was a cow-keeper himself.)

The entangled net of worries is cast on everyone’s forehead.
The children don’t know which way to look when hunger raises a question.

The table is set with the corpses of cattle, as the vultures and jackals feast.
The Grim Reaper himself comes visiting, in the guise of famine.

*HER WOH LAMHA YAAD*

*KER KE ROYE DIL*

*Wo pyaar jo mujhe chod ke chala gaya*

*Koii mujh ko zara kuch pal zindagi se mila de
Tadap raha hai dil uska chaira dikha de
Dhonde the hi reh gai hum disha zindagi ka*

*Us se milne aaye hai use itna bata de
Mujhko mallom hai na hai ye khber
Dhondho usko bhla ab main kidher
Kitne anjaan raaste hame hai mile*

*Mere dost mujhe tum zara uska pata de
Ji rahi ho mager zindagi se nahi
Mil rahi ho sab se per khoshi se nahi
Be-basi ne mujhe aaj etna tod diya*

*Ke maot ne bhi daman ab chord diya
Usse pochta hai dil kis baat ki wo saza de
Koii mujh ko zara kuch pal zindagi se mila de
Tadap raha hai dil uska chaira dikha de*

*Zindagi se alag hum kab tak jiye
Laash banke bhi dafan hum na hoye
Maar ke apne hatho se zindagi maang rahe thy
Jisko baat diye thy logo main wo khoshi maang rahe thy*

*Hai dard bhut hame koi hamko dawa de
Koii mujh ko zara kuch pal zindagi se mila de
Tadap raha hai dil uska chaira dikha de
Mere aarma mujh se mera haq maangte hai*

*Es bimaar dil ki dawa maangte hai
De diya hum ne apna sab kuch khood ko bhola ke
Jaise jita hai koi khood ko mita ke
hai khta ye meri kiya mujhe tu bata de*

*Mere dost mujhe tu zara uska pata de
Koii mujh ko zara kuch pal zindagi se mila de
Tadap raha hai dil uska chaira dikha de*
